2021 Recruiting
-
Visit going well.
-
In addition to Kendall Brown, 2021 5 star Patrick Baldwin Jr was in attendance as well. Baldwin is the son of Milwaukee’s coach. Top 5 player in the 21 class. His Crystal Ball is all Duke so far…
Also in attendance was Tamar Bates, 4 star Combo Guard out of Kansas City. 6’4 lefty has some game to him from some highlights I looked at. Can finish above the rim, looks like good length for a guard. Bates was also in attendance for Late Night. Bates has been active, been to K-St, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma St (unofficial) and Creighton for an official. Nationally #114 ranked player. 247 has him ranked a bit higher at #93. So far no KU offer but that could change.

I have actual scoop on this one. I know the role he is being sold. Very solid chance here.

I approve of this message
-
@BeddieKU23 I’ll update when I can.

Norm watching Tamar Bates tonight.
-
Interesting, 2 visits and now Norm is evaluating. Seems like KU making a move here. Another localish kid
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I’m wondering if the offer will come soon.
-
well read where Frank Anselem 6’10 out of California planning on visit to KU. - -Ranked the 57th player in the 2021 class
Along with KU the other 4 visits he is taking are : - -Oregon- - Alabama - -USC - -Arizona State ( notice a pattern of schools ? ) West Coast Area. - but who knows, anybody think there is a chance with this kid?
Broke down the Schools as far as KU , he said they know they are losing Doke , looing for that replacement and play Defense like him and defend the rim. - -we will see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 LSU is in deeeeep with Anselem.

that’s crazy cause according to the article they are not even one of his 5 visits
-
@jayballer73 Maybe things have changed. He’s a really solid player, but I think Nike.

Hearing KU might be getting involved here: https://247sports.com/Player/Trey-Alexander-46049846/
@FarmerJayhawk maybe you’ve got more on this.
He went head to head against Bryce Friday night. Both dropped 33 in a win for Booker T (Bryce’s school).

Targeting multiple guards in 21 in case Bryce is one and done due to sanctions or blowing up. Another one to watch https://247sports.com/player/hunter-sallis-46057844/

@FarmerJayhawk Sounds like we lead for Sallis.

I’d agree in that assessment. Just based on who we’re targeting, sure seems like Self is committing to 4 smalls. We’re losing 3 bigs over the next couple classes and aren’t really replacing them. I’m 100% wrong on some of the specifics but looks like we’ll trot out Harris, Thompson, Brown, Enaruna, McCormack as the 21-22 group.
-
@FarmerJayhawk A four guard line-up with one guy that can shoot. I wouldn’t complain with that starting 5 though.

Just running through the concept. A lot has to shake out before we get a good idea of what it’ll look like.
We’re still 2 years out so they can certainly improve. Play Wilson or Braun over Brown if you need another shooter.
-
@BShark I think we’ll land Sallis.

Need to look into the other kid but Brown is a Bill Self kid. Everything but a jumper and plays hard.

Brown has been here more times then any recruit in recent memory.

If he goes elsewhere it won’t be because KU didn’t try very hard to land him. He’s probably the top priority in the 21 class.

I want to see Bates get a KU offer. Not based on this pic alone obviously, but daaaamn.

Bates tape was solid from what I saw. Certainly looked like a player on the rise. If they like him we should trust that
-
@BeddieKU23 Still no KU offer fwiw.

Where does he play?
Kansas City, #115 ranked player right now. He should rise.
Hunter Sallis probably the top target at guard, certainly mutual interest there. Sallis is big time

Wow, Kansas City is turning into an absolute gold mine.

Goodnight Jayhawk nation.

Piper High School.
Wonder how big this class will need to be.

I see at least 4 spots open after next season. 5 if Thompson blows up and leaves (which I don’t expect) but you never know. The kicker here is not knowing the NCAA’s hammer. We may not have 4/5 spots to give out through restrictions or the opposite occurs and you see some guys leave due to whatever punishments get handed out. Going to be a war figuring this all out.
-
For sure leaving: Lightfoot, Silvio, Garrett
Maybe: Ochai, Thompson, Jossell
So I think 5 (+/- 1) is a solid number to think about.

I could see a quick processing with Jossell as well.
I hope Thompson and Ochai stay of course.
Dream class is Kendall Brown, Hunter Sallis and a really good big. Probably super tough to pull Sallis if Garrett is the only guard we lose though. I want no part of the Zion Harmon circus.
Not sure what bigs we are realistically in on but we will need one at a minimum.
-
Read that we are One of Seven Schools recruiting this kid the hardest according to him.
Alex Tchikou a 6’11 power forward from Dream City Christian Arizona says : USC , Oregon , Arizona , Arizona State , Mississippi State , Baylor & KU are the hardest at recruiting him # 30 overall player in the class of 2021 and the # 8 ranked Power Forward.
Versatile player can score at all three levels - - shoots the 3 - -can bock shots. - Saying Schools likes how he can play all positions. Arizona came to watch him when he was playing the point.
Looking for a School that will allow him to show his skills I’m assuming at different positions. Said when it comes time to pick a school looking to see how he fits , says he is looking more for fit then even a name of a School. Looking for that School that will communicate with him. - - Out of France , says the biggest transition he has had to make from there to ball in the United States is the speed of the game.
What he had to say about KU : Said KU recruiting him made him proud, saying cause when he 1st got here all he heard was like KU - - Kentucky - -D uke - -the blue bloods. - Saying KU has had a lot of pro’s and Big Names. Looking for the feel he gets for the Campus , the players and the Coach. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Jossell going pro, or him transferring? I would take that class in a heartbeat.
-
Transfer to d2. Maybe he shakes out, but certainly not a sure thing.

Not a 2021 kid, but does Bronny spend any time in college at his current trajectory?

Sallis bumped to #20 overall, 5* on Rivals. Need.

Wanted him since I saw the offer. Him and SO Bryce… Mercy…
-
Bout time the rankings started noticing him
-
@BShark Not often that a player like that comes out of Nebraska. How we can get him.
-
@dylans You know, I saw some highlights of him not too long ago on ESPN. Is it just me everyone, or does he seem to be not very athletic? Maybe it was just the small sample size.
-
@Marco Freshman? Able to dunk now (he wasn’t last year). Not super impressive yet; big time name recognition though.
